Bodies, Bodies Everywhere

Imagine what would happen here if bodies of those summarily executed - men, women, and children- turned up through Manhattan or Boston or Slidell, Louisiana, or Austin Texas as they have in Baghdad the last few days.

This is horrific.

And can the blame really lie anywhere else but with this administration's handling of Iraq? Of course, we shouldn't fault DoD Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld. After all, the poor many is too busy counting the $5.25 million he's made in recent months on royalty sales of TamiFlu from a deal he worked out when he was doing slick deals with pharmaceutical companies rather than destroying Muslim countries.

But wasn't it nice that the Bushies panicked everyone here about the bird flu so that sales of TamiFlu would go through the roof even where there is virtually no proof that TamiFlu would help much if avian flu strikes here?
